The Minnesota Wild found something (finally!) to enable them to win on the road. With a big win in Brooklyn to beat the Islanders on Monday, the Wild followed it up with a strong 2nd period to beat the Devils on Thursday. Friday, Eric Staal and Mikael Granlund each potted four points and combined for four goals en route to 4-1 victory over the Rangers to sweep the three-game road trip.
The first period was a bit of a snooze-fest with not much action happening on the ice.
